s their thing. Dating back to the 1988 Games in Calgary, the Finns have medaled in five of the last seven tournaments. Since the NHL got involved in 1998, they've earned two bronze and a silver. This is what Finland does. They go into these tournaments under the radar, letting Canada, Russia, U.S. and Sweden get all the headlines and favorite talk, then "come out of nowhere" to find themselves on the...
While Capitals Olympians John Carlson, Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Marcus Johansson and Marty Erat woke up Monday morning in the resort town of Sochi, Russia on the coast of the Black Sea, a handful of their teammates woke up on a different beach. Five Capitals made Olympic break plans to head to the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos. Caps right wing Troy Brouwer said his wifes parents have...
Thats probably the magic number dangling in front of the Capitals when they return from their 18-day Olympic hiatus and face the Florida Panthers in Sunrise on Feb. 27. Thanks to a pair of solid victories over the Winnipeg Jets and New Jersey Devils the Caps entered the Olympic break with a 27-23-9 record and 63 points. The wins were crucial because they kept the Caps one point behind the Detroit Red...
s greatest players will jet off for the event. No decision, obviously, has been made about whether the league will participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea four years from now, considering the 2014 men's hockey tournament doesn't even begin for another two days. But you get the sense that the tide is certainly shifting toward a solid “no” vote four years from now. The simple fact is that...

TORONTO -- Left winger James van Riemsdyk scored with a little more than four minutes left in the game as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 on Tuesday.

BOSTON -- Tuesday night could have been all about goalie Tim Thomas making a storybook return to the TD Garden ice. Not the way the Boston Bruins are playing. The suddenly potent Bruins, scoring six goals for the third straight game, spoiled Thomas' homecoming and roared to their fourth straight win, a 6-2 victory over Thomas and the Florida Panthers. The win lifted the Bruins to 5-0-1 over their last...

TORONTO -- The Tampa Bay Lightning felt they deserved better than their 3-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. But Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier was brilliant in stopping 40 shots including a big save late in the game, and left winger James van Riemsdyk scored the winning goal with 4:03 left in the game. Bernier made a key save on Lightning right winger Martin St. Louis after...

GOLD STAR: Milan Lucic was a beast for the entire game. Two goals to snap a 1-for-14 skid and six generated shot attempts while pacing a forward group that mustered up seven points in the one-sided win over the Panthers. He was seemingly involved in a perpetual wrestling match with overwhelmed Florida defenseman throughout the game, and had a pair of goals where collected rebounds for his efforts....
BOSTON It was pretty much a forgettable night for Florida Panthers goaltender Tim Thomas. The 39-year-old probably envisioned his first performance in TD Garden as a visiting player to go a little differently after winning two Vezina Trophies and a Conn Smythe Trophy as a key member of the Boston Bruins. But instead Thomas coughed a season-high six goals in a 6-2 win by the Bruins at TD Garden that...

t go well. The Boston Bruins clobbered the Thomas's Florida Panthers 6-2, with Thomas surrendering all six goals. All in all, it was a pretty crappy homecoming. How unenjoyable was it? "I think I might've enjoyed myself watching the State of the Union more," Thomas quipped. Seriously. He said that. There's video. For the video-impaired, he was kidding. "No, probably not," he added. He didn't enjoy...
